Canada said on Monday it plans to provide assistance to Cuba while the island grapples with fuel shortages after Washington moved to choke off Cuba's oil supplies. Washington has escalated a pressure campaign against the Communist-run island and long-time U.S. foe in recent weeks.
U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has moved to block all oil from reaching Cuba, including that from ally Venezuela, pushing up prices for food and transportation and prompting severe fuel shortages and hours of blackouts.
"We are preparing a plan to assist. We are not prepared at this point to provide any further details of an announcement," Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand said on Monday, without giving details on what such an assistance will include.
The U.N. has warned that if Cuba's energy needs are not met, it could cause a humanitarian crisis. Canada said last week it was monitoring the situation in Cuba and was concerned about "the increasing risk of a humanitarian crisis" there.
Emboldened by the U.S. military's seizure of ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a deadly raid in January, Trump has repeatedly talked of acting against Cuba and pressuring its leadership.

Carney wants the Cuban people to stay enslaved ?
Canadia’s got a s-load of money, no problem.
Canada really is begging to get slapped hard. DO they honestly think Trump is going to let Canadian ships just sail past the “Cuban blockade?”
Carney is a world class globalist quisling idiot
Tell me you’re a communist country without telling me you’re a communist country.
Canada’s two favorite countries: China and Cuba.
Hey, Trudeau: Who’s your daddy?
He is an WEF acolyte.
Assist Cuba and threaten our national security helping those commies? How about we assist Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan with leaving, not to mention crippling tariffs, leaving Ottawa with no money to assist Cuba? All we need is 1 of the 3 saying “Bye”.
It reminds me, oddly enough, of the Vietnamese Buddhists who were so against the war that they burned themselves to death. Canada’s leaders are so anti-Trump that they will burn their country down and hand it over to Red China.
The irony of both is that when the communists got a hold of the south, the Buddhists who didn’t toe the Ho line were among the first to be sent to prison, just as would happen if Canada became the whateverth province of China.
Canada...run by globalist demons.
It’s the old principle of international politics: “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
Canada should be considered a hostile power and treated as such.
The “Anglosphere” has become a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Parts of Latin America and Eastern Europe are the “free world” at this point in addition to the US. The rest are either adversaries or out-and-out enemies.
Like him or not, Carney is too smart a person to try violating the American Cuba policy. Far too smart.
But having functionaries vaguely hint around at some unspecified whatever — well, that might keep some minor WashDC functionary occupied for a few minutes...
“Carney wants the Cuban people to stay enslaved?”
apparently ... next thing you know, Canada will help the soviets in their war against Ukraine and give assistance to the Irainians ...
Blow up their new bridge.
as long as Canada wants to send Cuba Poutine, i’m fine with it, but if they try to send oil, i would imagine that Canadian tankers [if their even is such a thing] would be seized by the USA for violating sanctions against Cuba ...
Cuba finally attains net zero and Canada wants to torpedo it.
